The splendid International Glass Art Pavilion, centre piece of the 2012 Hsinchu City International Glass Festival, presents a selection of contemporary artworks specifically curated to challenge traditional ideas about glass art. Featured are 28 artists from 14 countries: Italy, Britain, Germany, Iceland, Austria, Spain, Poland, Lebanon, America, Australia, France, Holland, Japan and China. 65 pieces of the selected glass artwork has been created in accordance with the artists own style and creative sensibility with glass serving as the main medium and inspiration.

The Hsinchu International Glass Art Festival aims to promote contemporary glass art through the spirit of international cultural exchanges and the introduction of new techniques. This year the International Glass Art Pavilion exhibition introduces glass art through an art historical perspective, featuring five categories: Traditional Glass Art, Applied Glass Art, Surrealistic Glass Art, Contemporary Glass Art and Innovative Glass Panel. The concepts presented in each exhibition area not only draw on the aesthetic linkages between different historical periods but they also showcase rich imagination and artistic freedom that is beyond the conventional framework of glass-making.

TRADITIONAL GLASS ART

In his work the esteemed Italian artist Livio Seguso combines glass with marble to create elegant and delicate geometric forms. By using different materials Seguso has developed a unique style, which integrates Cubist Minimalist aesthetic into an exciting new vocabulary. Dino Rosin makes richly coloured, fine glass art as meditations on the beauty of the natural environment and the vast universe that surrounds us.

Dino Rosin combines handmade craft with a unique technique called calcedonia. Calcedonia is a precious and rare mineral composed of quartz and moganite. In Italy it was used as early as the 15th century though its application was later lost. In 1977 Rosin rediscovered the formula by which to mix the unique chemical component of the calcedonia and incorporate it in the creation of magnificent fine art glass. Although the secret family recipe has been carefully guarded and passed on from one generation to the next it has also had far-reaching influence in the glass art world.

14

APPLIED GLASS ART

In modern life we display personal taste through the choices we make about where we dine, the clothes we wear, the holidays we enjoy. The expression of individual aesthetic style also finds an outlet in the appreciation of beautifully made art objects with an utilitarian function.

German designer Elena Graure Manta is inspired by the fun application of glass-making techniques combined with everyday object designs such as ladies handbags, clothing, shoes, etc. She incorporates low-temperature fusing method of melting and moulding glass by which to create colourful pieces for the fashionable ladies. The objects are in fact decorative table lamps that bring an artistic refinement and personal whimsy to everyday objects. The artworks present creative thinking that surpasses traditional notions of glass art, revealing its malleability and fine quality.

SURREALISTIC GLASS ART

The period of the early 20th Century art was characterised by creative explorations influenced by states of subconscious contradictions arising in the human psyche. Known in art history as the Surrealist movement, the artworks created during this period display contradictory juxtapositions of real world imagery with humorous or exaggerated symbols that can only be found in dreams and free play imagination.

Surrealistic glass artists use the liquid properties of glass to make objects that are pure fantasy: sometimes grotesque, sometimes magical but always pushing the boundaries of the medium into new directions of creative and poetic expression. The glass slipper works of artist Luigi Bona are made in vibrant colours out of recycled Coka Cola bottles. Their surreal and irrational forms look like something from an Alice in Wonderland world: fantastical and without any practical function.

15


CONTEMPORARY GLASS ART

Although an ancient medium and a traditional art form, glass art has changed and evolved over the centuries, and today it can reflect as some of our modern day living as it can preserve classical aesthetics and techniques. In this sense, developments in contemporary glass art are inseparable from the many and diverse forms of contemporary art genres such as Pop Art, Minimalism, and Conceptual Art. Each has its own unique aesthetic vocabulary and style that directly or indirectly has influenced the practice of many glass artists.

INNOVATIVE GLASS PANEL

The origins of mosaic stain glass art can be traced back to the Middle Ages, when in European it was used to decorate the windows of cathedrals and churches. The light passing through the large stain glass windows would ornate with its colourful Christian imagery the interior architecture, symbolically illuminating the souls of worshipers.

Italian-American Maestro Narcissus Quagliata designed 30 meter in diameter glass installation for the Formosa Boulevard Station of Kaohsiungs Metro, titled Dome of Light. The images describe the story of creation; the exchanges between human communities, Heaven and Earth, and our relationship with the four elements of life: water, earth, fire and light. The panels incorporate traditional stained glass and glazing combined with innovative techniques of painting and drawing on glass, and glass etching. The final effect is that of a symphony of glass fusion of ancient and modern imagery, leading us into a vortex of expansive time, space and imagination.

16

Following hundreds of years of evolution of the glass art, the exhibits in this years

festival aim to show how exquisite glass art has evolved from its ancient tradition of

handmade techniques, the experimentations of 20th century masters to present

day innovations. It showcases how classical glazing can be integrated into the

whole new system of creative process, showing a variety of glass art forms, and

delighting the viewer with new aesthetic experiences.

Finally, I would like to express my sincere thanks to the City Government of Hsinchu

and the Bureau of Cultural Affairs for appointing me as the curator of this significant

event. And further thank the Berengo Fine Art and the team of Bureau of Cultural

Affairs who supported the successful realisation of this exhibition.

Born in Venice on May 3Oth 1948, Dino Rosin

was taken by his family while still an infant to

live on Murano, the glassproducing island in the

Venice lagoon. On leaving school at the age of

12, Dino began work straight away with much

passion and dedication as an apprentice at one

of the isle 's oldest and most renowned glass

factories, 'Barovier e Toso His love for glass

working gave him the chance to quickly earn a

reputation, his energetic spirit letting him express

his enthusiasm when modeling this unique material.

In 1963 joined his brothers, Loredano and Mirco,

already owners of the giass studio 'Artvet'. Then

15 years old, Dino started working with his brother

Loredano, who was gaining success as a new

master glassworker It was then that Egidio

Costantini, owner of the renowned Fucina degli

Angeli (Angels' Furnace), suggested that they

came to collaborate with the rnost famous artists

of the time: Picasso, Chagall, Jean Cocteau and

Le Corbusier to mention only a few of the leading

names who frequented his furnace-workshop.

For Dino, the feeling he experiences when working

with glass is one of pleasure: the giving of form

to his own ideas and the consolidating of his

creative talent into objects that can be admired

and touch ed. In 1988, together with Loredano

and the American glass artist Wiiliam Morris,

he was invited to demonstrate his WOV at working

molten glass at the 'Pilchuck Glass School' in

Washington State. It Is a collaboration that Dino

has kept up with the school ever Since.

Venard was born in 1913 in Burgundy to a family

of the French bourgeoisie. At 17, he knew he

wished to become a painter and he started

attending evening painting classes at the Ecole des

Arts Appliqus in Paris. In 1936, after six years of

study, he started working as an art restorer for the

Louvre Museum, an experience which would

enable him to perfect his artistic training and

acquire great skills. In 1936, abstract painting was

the most widespread genre. That same year a

group of young painters, including Venard, held a

show sponsored by the Billet-Worms Gallery, and

the critic Waldemar George coined the term Forces

Nouvelles for the new movement. Very soon,

however, the artists that had initially made the

group famous distanced themselves from the

movement and began working individually, as did

Venard, who had become estranged from the

extremism and radicalism of the new members. In

1945, owing to his friendship with Gruber and

Marchand, Venard shared in their success. Until

the end of his career, he would remain stylistically

faithful to Post-Cubism, although he gradually

increased color contrasts through the use of sharp

colors which he often spread on the canvas using

small putty knives instead of a paintbrush.

Nabil Nahas nasce a Beirut, in Libano, nel 1949.



Attualmente vive e lavora tra New York e la sua

citt natale. Grazie alla sua formazione ed

educazione, in parte libanese ed egiziana ed in

parte americana, sin dagli esordi Nahas tocca con

la sua pittura vari filoni estetici, coniugando

lastrattismo occidentale con la ricchezza dei colori

e delle forme tipici della cultura estetica orientale.

La natura e la cultura islamica sono le sue

principali fonti di ispirazione che, grazie alla

ricerca, lartista trasforma in simboli e immagini

iconiche. Negli anni Settanta la sua pittura

prevalentemente geometrica e si caratterizza per

una sovrapposizione di forme, che nel loro insieme

creano dei pattern decorativi simili a quelli

caratteristici della cultura orientale. Negli anni

Ottanta, invece, in concomitanza con la guerra

civile libanese, i suoi dipinti diventano

rappresentazione di ampie distese di pittura

materica nera, intervallata solo sporadicamente da

strisce verticali di colore. Successivamente e quasi

per caso inventa un nuovo modo di dipingere,

utilizzando la ripetizione di irregolari forme

circolari distribuite in modo disordinato sulla tela,

dando vita cos ai Circle Paintings.

Juan Ripolls was born in September 1932 in

Castelln, Valencia, in Spain. Juan Ripolls was

initially closer to painting, creating highly

imaginative and very successful works; next he

made original engravings, developing new

techniques. Finally he discovered the world of

sculpture and consequently that of glass. The

bronze and glass sculptures by this artist with his

unmistakable signature communicate joy and fun.

They are works made with the heart and not with

the brain, and all of them want to amuse and not

get lost in vain intellectualisms. The artist

emphasizes his figures enormous heads set on

miniscule bodies, underscoring the four senses

that reside in the head: hearing, smell, taste and

sight. In short, the center of the human being is

here; then the heart completes the poem.

1980

Michel Van Overbeeke was born in 1942 in The

Hague, Holland, where he attended a graphics art

school. Van Overbeekes work is characterized by

great versatility, especially in the use of materials.

In the mid-1970s, he began to work as a graphic

designer, painter and draftsman. An obsessive

and compulsive artist who is pushed by his restless

nature to create, he has explored new disciplines

and various materials and techniques over the

course of his artistic career. In addition to his

two-dimensional works, he has also created

monumental sculptures in ceramic, marble and

synthetic materials. At the end of the 1980s he

began a complex plan to combine and blend

different media like sculpture, painting, video and

photography Michel Van Overbeeke is a

multi-faceted artist whose starting point for his

experimentation is the mind and a way of thinking.

His works are on display in private galleries and

public institutions, especially in the countries of

northern Europe.

1966

Robert Zeppel-Sperl was born in Leoben, Austria

in 1944. He lived in Vienna and Bali in Indonesia

where in 2005 he died prematurely. Robert

Zeppel-Sperls animals and figures have much in

common with the surrealist movement. Either

representative or figurative, his art does not copy

any other living creature that is referable to any

real category; it proceeds by surprising and

unusual combinations. His figures give life to a

monstrous, anthropomorphic family; each

sculpture and painted image associates various

elements that clash with each other, bringing

ambiguous beings to life without any

sentimental or psychological connotations. The

artists works reveal a corrosive and cruel humor.

In fact, his works are more upsetting and

disturbing than they seem. His simple and ironic

art betrays a tortured spirit: his works could be

interpreted as miniature self-portraits that make

the hidden and unconscious associations emerge

from the artists mind.

French painter, sculptor, engraver, James

Coignard was born in Tours in 1925. He lived and

worked in Antibes, in the Maritime Alps, and he

died in March 2008. Coignard began his studies

in 1948 at the School of Fine Arts in Nice;

however, his journey as an artist began in the Cte

d'Azur, where he settled. In fact, Coignard

traveled a lot, living for a period from 1985 to 1988

in New Orleans. His artistic career was marked by

collective and personal exhibitions both in France

and abroad (Sweden, Switzerland, the United

States), where he enjoyed fame and recognition.

Up til the 1960s, his artistic development was

characterized by an expressionistic style; then

Coignard found himself moving towards an

abstract one with random spots, regular shapes,

typographical characters, and mixed media

backgrounds.

He was a painter but also a sculptor, who

experimented with bronze and with glass. His

work as an engraver was also quite well-known.

James Coignard created his first glass sculpture in

the 1970s at the Fucina degli Angeli. Only later,

after meeting Adriano Berengo, did his creations

in glass become richer and more organic. He was

fascinated by glass and its ability to capture light

and by the world that revolved around the magical

interrelation of the material, the artist, and the

hands of the master glassmaker During his career,

Coignard made his talent available to many poets,

with whom he loved to undertake the adventure of

creating a book.

Born in Turin, Italy. Painter, engraver, sculptor

and set designer, he first began to exhibit in 1949

with the group of young abstract painters in

biennials of Venice, Sao Paolo in Brazil, Tokyo,

Paris, Ljubljana, Alexandria in Egypt, as well as in

the Rome Quadrennial and the Milano Triennial.

He has had one-man shows in important cities

both in Italy and around the world.

Of particular importance are his large 1990

traveling show in Spain curated by Enzo di

Martino and his retrospective exhibition at

Venices Ca Pesaro Museum of Modern Art. His

works are found in museums of modern art in

Chicago, Milan, Florence, Mulhouse, New York,

Paris, Warsaw, Stockholm, Vienna and, of course,

Luigi Benzoni was born in Clusone in the province

of Bergamo, Italy. Among the most important

exhibitions in which he has taken part are: The

Secret of Murano, Het Paleis Museum, The

Hague, Netherlands (1997), A Choice of European

Glass Artists, Mostly Glass, New York, USA

(1998), Made in Murano-Making Art with Glass,

Hotel Cipriani, Venice, Italy (1999), Interationell

Prigioni, Venice, Italy, XI Biennial of Sacred Art,

Stauros Museum of Sacred Art, Isola del Gran

Sasso dItalia, Abruzzo, Italy (2004).

Benzonis work both pictorial and sculptural is

characterized mainly by his experimentation with

the human face. His glass faces immobile

hieratic icons are related to the drawings and

paintings he has created using various techniques.

After a short detour into abstraction that helped

him learn how to intuit the strength of line and

color, his painting production with stern,

elemental faces became almost monochromatic.

The impenetrable look on these faces with just two

slits for the eyes invite the observer to look

beyond.

Benzonis glass heads made of glass paste with

an image in gold-leaf inside are veritable human

simulacra. All of Benzonis works reveal one

general characteristic: his profiles and their

outlines seem imprinted with simplicity but are

actually the result of a decisive power and a

resolute determination.

Marta Klonowska was born in Warsaw in 1964.

She currently lives and works in Dsseldorf.

Already during her studies at the Academy of Fine

Arts in Wroclaw, Poland, and later at that of

Dsseldorf, glass had become her preferred artistic

medium. Today she is known for her numerous

canine sculptures that depict the four-legged

companions of important historical figures,

capturing their natural poses in colored glass. For

the subjects of her works, the artist finds

inspiration in the paintings of the great masters, in

which pets mostly dogs are side by side with

the subjects, acting almost like prestigious objects

that are exhibited as synonyms for wealth and

power. Thanks to her work, the artist succeeds in

telling the secondary stories of these ancillary

characters. Marta Klonowska calls attention to the

interplay of historical and artistic references

reproducing each painting (usually in the original

size) in a single color that matches the color of the

glass chosen for the sculpture. To construct these

works, she starts with a metal skeleton that is then

carefully covered with sharp shards of glass, as in

The Morning Walk (2006). She has received such

important awards as the 1999 "Artist in Residence"

at the Cit International des Arts in Paris and the

2002 "Artist in Residence" at the Akerby

Skulpturpark in Sweden. She was also a finalist in

the 2006 Bombay Sapphire Prize in London.

Among her most recent exhibitions are: And

Domestic Animals at the Finnish Glass Museum in

Riihimki (2009) and t.b.a. (2011), and Geschpfe

(2011) at the Lorch + Seidel Galerie in Berlin.

Since 2011, one of her works has been on display at

the Corning Museum of Glass for the Ben W.

Heineman exhibition at the Sr. Family Gallery of

Contemporary Glass in New York.

Born in 1924 in Fenghuang County, Hunan

Province, Huang never went to a regular art school

but he had talent and worked hard. He studied art

and literature by himself and learnt from friends,

society and life. Perhaps this is why he shows such

initiative and vitality in his works without any set

pattern.

When he was young, Huang was famous for his

prints, which used bold lines and an unconstrained

style. Until the 1960s he devoted himself mainly to

woodcuts. The period from the late 1950s to the

middle 1960s marked the golden age of his

woodcuts. His color woodcut prints, such as

Ahshima and Spring Tide, were pleasant surprises

to fellow artists with their strong folk flavor,

pronounced ethnic characteristics and refreshing

style. Since the seventies, Huang has produced an

abundance of colored ink paintings depicting

landscapes, flowers and birds using freehand

techniques. There are also human figures and

scenes with humorous messages or historical

allusions. His fresh themes, bold strokes and

dripping colors combine to make an original style

in contemporary Chinese painting; while his

unique style of using traditional Chinese painting

techniques helped contribute to his fame. His

caricatures and canvas paintings are also

recognized as excellent.

hometown of Cleveland, Ohio where he currently

resides and works at Superior Hot Glass. His work

has been exhibited in numerous galleries and

museums throughout America and also held by

many private collectors. Over the years his work

has constantly reached into the outer limits of his

imagination to come back with fanciful and

enticing forms. His work tends to focus on growth

and the evolution of the idea. He doesn't set out to

produce art about one subject or another and is

never without a sketchbook to constantly draw out

a new idea. Recently he has taken his talents

around the globe traveling to Europe with the

Corning Museum of Glass and now to Asia to teach

the art of glassblowing and start a new series of

work focusing on color properties in glass.

Elvira Bach was born in 1951 in Neuenhain,

Germany. Despite the idea of conceptual,

analytical and rational art being dominant at that

time in the artistic world, she continued to paint in

an energetic and sensual way, using an expressive

language and gaudy colors. The central theme of

her artistic journey has been women and

femininity. All the faces she portrays have the

same physiognomy because they are in reality

self-portraits of the artist. Bach always depicts

herself adorned with accessories that accentuate

her femininity and become symbols of a universal

woman. In her works. It was the beginning of a

new artistic period marked by the explicit use of

numerous erotic elements. Elvira Bach, however,

is not just a painter but also a talented sculptor

who is especially fascinated by the possibilities of

glass. She currently lives and works in Berlin.

Maestro Narcissus Quagliata, an Italian and a US

citizen, was born in Rome, Italy in 1942 where he

studied painting with the metaphysical painter

Giorgio De Chirico. At the age of 19, Narcissus

moved to the United States and studied at the San

Francisco Art Institute receiving both a bachelor

and a master degree in painting and graphics.

Soon after graduation, he began working in glass

and continues to use it as his principle form of

artistic expression. Narcissus Quagliata has

receives twice, grants from the National

Endowment for the Arts for his work in US. Over

the span of his career he has worked in Europe, the

US, Mexico and Asia. His fine art works, in glass

and watercolors, have been exhibited and collected

by major museum and private collections

internationally. During the 70s and 80s and early

90s Narcissus executed over a hundred

commissions primarily in private residences, but

starting from the mid 80s he also began to

integrate his work in public spaces.

Graham Joness works spans the architectural

divide from medieval Westminster abbey to major

corporation headquarters, such as Smithkline

Beecham, ICI and Shell Oil. Throughout this

variety of work he constantly strives for the

original response that each commission should

elicit. This, he believes is the great challenge of

architectural art. He has become an authority in

the technical process in all forms of decorations in

glass. His love of glass and his insistence that art

must not be dictated by the glass and his insistence

that art must not be dictated by the medium has

led him to push the boundaries of convention with

great glass workshops of Europe. Yet beneath all

the technical processes in Joness work lies the

soul of an emotive painter. Educated at Swansea

College of Art in Wales from 1977 to 1980. He won

the major prizes for stained glass students and

completed his first commissions.
